The world is tired of deception
For centuries Europe, Britain and the USA have mass murdered and stolen global resources. On YouTube there are authentic documentaries detailing how the USA, Britain, Europe etc. destabilized and ruined nations for something as ridiculous as banana’s or sugar in South America. The decades of killing in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Yemen, Sudan was about oil/gas and subduing black and brown people.
The historic disregard for human rights etc. is detailed/defined and gives perspective to what is happening in Palestine. The leaders of Europe, the USA, Britain and Israel etc. simply do not regard Palestinians as fully human. Like Africans and others during slavery/colonialism we must accept the racist arrogance that is confirmed by historical patterns. Why is this acceptance important?
There are basically 3 types of people, the good, and the indifferent/ignorant and evil people.
Good people, support truth/justice etc. in whatever manner they can and the best people sacrifice a great deal including their lives. Examples include Nelson Mandela, Malcom X, and Ghandi etc.
Indifferent/ignorant people who are the vast majority do not get involvement as they fear loss etc.
Evil people support oppression and murder etc. Current examples include Prime Minister Netanyahu (Israel), Rishi Sunak (Britain), Pres. Biden, Foreign Minister Blinken (USA) and most European leaders.
For centuries evil people convinced the ignorant that good people are evil and evil people are good.
Example, when Jesus Christ the Messiah was dragged before Roman authority, the Pharisees told the ignorant masses that Jesus was possessed by demons. Jewish leaders wanted Jesus dead.
When Rome, to absolve themselves, told the crowd to choose between Barabbas a violent criminal and Jesus Christ the Messiah and an innocent Palestinian refugee, the crowd chose Barabbas.
Arab leaders did the same with Muhammed the messenger when they told crowds in Mecca that Muhammed threatened tradition, was seeking wealth and authority and was bewitched.
Today’s modern Pharisees/Romans are Netanyahu, Rishi Sunak, Joe Biden and Antony Blinken etc.
When, anyone deems it okay to murder innocence, they are evil. Whatever they say to justify oppression it is deception. If a person wants to know if they are a good or indifferent/ignorant or evil person, ask yourself, do I desire peace, truth and justice for others?
If you actively support/encourage the genocide of Palestinians then you are like the evil Pharisees.
If you quietly think the Palestinian genocide is okay, you are like the ignorant who freed Barabbas.
If you consider the Palestinians genocide evil, you would have assisted Jesus Christ a Palestinian refugee born in a manger in Bethlehem against the might of pagan Rome and the evil Pharisees.
In truth, the Palestinian genocide is a litmus test of our individual humanity, so choose wisely.
